Rankings from STATS Poll

The 2024 Missouri Valley Football Conference season is the 39th season of college football play for the Missouri Valley Football Conference and part of the 2024 NCAA Division I FCS football season. This is the MVFC's first season returning to 11 teams, and its fourth in the last 5 seasons. It is also the conference's last for now as Missouri State announced before the season that they would be joining Conference USA starting in the 2025–26 academic year. The Bears are ineligible for the FCS playoffs and the conference title during the 2024 season.[1]

Previous season

[edit]

In 2023, South Dakota State won the conference and received the automatic bid to the 2023 playoffs. The top seeded Jacks would go on to win their second consecutive FCS Championship, beating second seeded Montana.[2] South Dakota would also make a seed and wait until the second round to play as the third seed, but would fall to North Dakota State in the quarterfinal round.[3] The Bison made the tournament unseeded for the first time since the 2010 season, and would make it all the way to the semifinal round before losing to the Griz[4] - winning two straight road games to get there. Southern Illinois, Youngstown State and North Dakota would also make the playoffs as unseeded teams. The Salukis and Penguins fell in the second round, to 4th seeded Idaho[5] and 6th seeded Villanova[6] respectively. The Fighting Hawks fell at home to Sacramento State in the first round.[7]

Conference changes

[edit]

After the conclusion of the 2023 college football season, Western Illinois left the conference for the Ohio Valley Conference after 38 years in the league as a charter member. This move matches the Leathernecks departure from their main conference, the Summit League, which they left after the 2022-23 collegiate season.[8]

Coaching changes

[edit]

Murray State

[edit]

On January 10, 2024, Jody Wright was named the new head coach at Murray State.[9] Wright takes over for Dean Hood, who retired after the 2023 season.[10]

North Dakota State

[edit]

On December 17, 2023, Tim Polasek was named the new head coach at North Dakota State.[11] Polasek takes over for Matt Entz, who left the Bison for the linebackers/assistant coach position at USC.[12]
